But the girl who iina stood at the gate, m
her slippers, and with no covering for her
head but lb r golden uair fastened low on her
neck, had 1 -Hated but a moment. She
could not let Cui .,'u leave her thus; perhaj*
she should never see him again, if he went
away without one word from her to soften
the blows she had Jet them give him. And
then ho seemed to Vie walking slowly, she
could overtake him in a moment. The un¬
even walk hurt her feet, her slippers
were r,o thin, and as „she lifted her .skirt
to walk faster n rudo briar tore her soft
flesh, and then him;; Hhe greedily to her to im¬
pede her steps. stopped and called his
name. Bhe had hardly murmured it, but it
seemed so loud spoken and so tender toned
she blushed at herself, and dared not sjx'ak it
again. She might run a few steps, and then
ho would hoar her voice more plainly. But
her dress clung so closely and her excited
breath came so fast that she gained on him
very slowly. There was no use, she must
lose him forever out of her life; ho must al¬
ways think her cruel and ungenerous. She
leaned against the fence and sent one more
hopeless cry after him. It was more a sob
than a cry, a piteous sob, trembling with,
gentle, heart broken reproach. Why, she
was sure he must have heard that; she had
never meant to- p/ .-k so loud. What could
she say to him vl: he came back to her:
She must try to be very cold and dignified.
But wasn't lie going to turn? Why, her cry
was piercing enough to go a mile on the still
evening air. No, ho was further away, he
had not heard her.
Then she looked backed, and was fright¬
ened to see what a distance she was away
from home. And as she stood looking, now
at his (all form drawing uncou^'ously away
from her, and then at the distant lights of
her home, the first hint of tho desolation
that broods over millions of hopeless hearts,
came upon her soul. Her slippers were torn,
and wc-t with dew, and each step she took
bruised the tender feet that had never known
hurt or weariness. Her heavy masses of hair
had been shaken from their fastenings, and
hung at full length to her waist. She fan¬
cied herself some lost, friendless Magdalen,
for whom the world, that fawns on tho for¬
tunate and proud, had only taunts and cruel
blows. And wero there women who had to
face the world alone? fight their own battles
with timid hearts? earn their own right to
breathe, with sinking hearts?
“What was that, a step, a man's step coming
toward her?” To her excited imagination at
that moment her beautiful home and the
elegant life she loved so well seemed things of
the past,
She gathered her hair into a loose coil and
let her dress trail on tho walk to cover her
feet. The man wore workman's clothes.
Bbr had hoped he might be a gentleman.
Bho tried to keep on tho outer edge of tlio
sidewalk; she would have taken the road if
sh'h' 1 datvd. She looked away from tha
b". ■■■■’ • ’.il l reowith beating heart ho
was eraing directly toward her. Ilut per-
hap.i he diil not sea her, and ho might turn
assucyci, God grant ho be an honest man,
who .e wife's loving face was in his thoughts
at this moment. There were such men. But
instead of moving aside tho man stopped
short ju l before her, and she raised her big,
scared i . rs to Ills face.
“Why, B 'rt’ia, I thought it was you."
Sure enough it was Philip Breton. He had
come from the mill, where there had been
some extra work, and wore his working
clothes.
“Let mo walk homo with you," he said
very gently, n > if he bad no right to assert
any privilege with her.
“I c.r.v't > > far, and got frightened,” she
saill do, . nily, as slio rested her hand on hit
arm.
Iler hand was cold, but it sent his young
bl > -d tingling through hia veins.
“I am so sorry." How Vie longed to catch
Iwr white ii sod to iiis lips, and warm it with
lh • 15;:t lately she had treated him with
a i’ , 'v cold iu 1 a, ami her coldness he dare not
nurd. Ho dreaded to face it, it pained him so
pc*t endurance, and ho had called on her but
seldom since tho night of tho fire. But now
his heart w..s full of eloquent Jove; so full he
could not conceive of her not sharing in it.
It was sin called it forth, she must have
something for him.
They had reached her gate. She would
surely invito him to go in with her. Then
she could tell him if lie had dono anything to
displease her. He could remember nothing,
but there might have been some unconscious
cold word or tone, as-if, poor fellow, he had
not b.-.-u ou’-y too tender with her.
“Good night,’’ she said. Khe had lost t he
tremor in her voice fright had given her, and
all the s-iftnc.-s <>f heart of her loneliness,
“I thank you," she added, coldly, as he did
not go, but stood looking as if he did not
quite understand.
“Good night," ho answered, with a great
throb in his throat. He stumbled awk¬
wardly, as he went down tile steps; he could
not see- very well for tlr> mist in his eyes.
CHAPTER XI.
i;x«hatefi;l populace.
Philip Breton sat late over the tea table,
i one evening s mio days after. II is father had
! been detained down in the village, and had
1 come homo with a good deal on his mind.
Indv r-!. the old gentleman, who generally
laid t* Me his hardness outside his own doors,
ha 1 -at in silence wrinkling' his forehead
very i -.artistically almost throughout the
meal.
••Poor folks are always ungrateful,’ - he ex*
ckiiiii -1 harshly at last as he shook his head
« ■ n ly at the maidservant who offered him
the cake basket.
“Here I have whitewashed every house for
them, nn-1 i ! v, as only t • -night I heard some
grumbling old woman tell her husband, she
wondered how <>! i Breton would like to live
in one of his own fowmotits."
Puilip sai l nothing. It- had been his habit
lately, win- his father got on this theme, to
k.--;i v. He was puzzled to know what
to ray.
"Why, look at it, Phil. Tlie insurance on
t’a b.r:icd mill won't make up for the lost
tii iu rebuilding, and this is the time they
s .•{ to a-’.; for fire escapes. Yield them an
i. ! and ' key want an i ll. I suppose they
think 1 "-. hi to run the factory for a big
b< institution. Every man that is
poor cur i me for it, and not one -shift-
less f.miiy in town. I'll warrant, but
would l.iy the fault oa my shoulders. By
the way. Phil, you have lieen to college; yon
ou ght to know if there isn't any way I can
slop the tongue of that tail brown hair'd
felloe.’. Can't tlie law touch him? i lor.
d;- hury.'I him, but ho docs more mi'-. hief
ti; ;• rver.r
“DMiehargeif Curran U exclaimed Philip.
“You don’t mean it) why, be is the man that
saved Bertha’s life," he continued hurriedly.
“You must take him back at once—you must
take him back at once, no matter what he
has said.”
“No matter what ho has done either, I sup¬
pose,” said Mr. Breton, with some heat.
“Perhaps I know more of tho interesting
young man than you dihe went on indis¬
creetly. “It may !k> as well for you if I opesi
your eyes a l ittle—what is it, MaryT
“Three men at the door, sir. They want
to see you, sir.”
“I think they are workmen.” The mill
owner found three of his workmen in his
study; all standing when he entered because
they felt less awkward on their feet
“Send my son in,” ho called to Mary. “Ho
might as well learn how to meet this sort of
occasion.”
Tho delegation of workmen did not look
very fierce. One of them kept gazing long¬
ingly out of the wjndow, and smoothing his
napless felt hat. Another, out of whoso
soiled coat pocket stuck the stem of a clay pipe,
was studying the ceiling of tho room with an
intensity only explainable by his fear of his
m .er’seye. They were two of the men who
had peered into the parlor windows of this
very house on the evening our story com¬
mences. The third was John Graves, wliTfee
eyes were fixed unflinchingly on the mill
owner for whom ho had a message. When
Philip came in he was a l.ttle startled to see
hi i quondam host, but the man hail other
things to think of than the possible identity
of tills elegantly dressed young gentleman
with tho ungrateful tramp ho had kept once
over night.
“There’s ameetin’of the mill ban’s down
in the hall, sir, and they sent us up to ask a
favor.”
Mr. Breton had seated himself before his
long office table and pulled up a file of busi-
nesa 1 tiers.
“You have too many meetings,” he said
loudly. “You talk so much you aren’t fit to
work. Some of the noisiest of you will find
themselves out of a job some fine morning;
on - man did tho other day.”
The t wo other men looked anxiously at
their spokesman. If they had dared they
would have begun to mako excases for com¬
ing. Their wives and babies must bo fed,
and talking about their rights wouldn’t ever
feed them. Iiet others who could afford to
offend him go to the meetings. But tho poor
fellows were afraid to raise their voices, even
in apology.
“Blit the willingest of us all don’t want to
bo roasted to death, and it amt a bit pleas¬
anter to us men folks to think of seeiiT our
wives and children burnt up before our eyes.
Our women nint quite so purty as thoso of
the rich, but we prize ’em as much. Wo
come to ask for fire escapes on the milis. So
if there should happen to come a fire in day
time, when the mills were full, the poor crit¬
ters could git out.” It was quite a long
speech for John Graves in such august pres¬
ence, and ho delivered it in tho monotonous
Yankee drawl which carries high tragedy or
low comedy without a distinction of accent.
“There is no danger,” he answered with a
gruff laugh, 'jmd in business wo can't spend
much money providing against very unlikely
events. Fi re escapes would bo a piece of useless
extravagance.” Mr. Breton looked sharply at
his visitors over tho file of letters. “It would
make necessary another cut in your pay ”
Bill Rogers fingered his pi fie uneasily in
the significant silence that followed, and
finally drew it half out of his Then jxicket through liii
force of habit in distress. he found
voiir
“Ycr jokin’, squire; yer wouldn’t cut us
poor devils down again. The last cut seemed
as if it wou{d kill us, till we found how little
it takes to keep soul and body together if a
critter don't oxfiect nothin’ else. Why,
squire, a dog has tho best of some on us now:
for folks let him steak” The tall man thrust
back his pipe into tho depths of his pocket,
and his face hardened into a sullen expression
as he added solemnly: “1 calTato another cut
would fill all the jails in the country. Yer
might as well give us the least we can live on
here as support us in prisoa"
It tens quite a long speech for John Graves.
The mill owner rose to his feet with a
bustling movement of impatience. The un¬
reasonable beings had no conception of the
principles of political economy, but always
had some particular hardship of their own to
urge against its beautiful theories, as if what
made the rich moro rich must not in some
way help the lieggars even that cringed at
their feet.
“Well, well, I don’t mean to cut you again
if you don’t bother mo too much. I have
lost so much that I really can’t afford an¬
other dollar of expense.” He rang the bell
for tho servant.
There was a gleam of sarcastic humor in
John Graves’ black eyes.
“But wouldn’t it now lie quite a loss to
burn up a thousand such good cheap factory
ban's? I wouldn’t thought you could afford
that. These fire ’scapes now - ’-
“.Show them out, Mary,” interrupted Mr.
Breton angrily. “You might as well know,
I could find a thousand ns good and as cheap,
in a week,'’ and he shut the office door after
them with a slam.
“But you have let those men go away
thinking you had just as. iief they would lie
burned to death,” expostulated Philip, flush¬
ing with excitement.
“Nothing of the kind, sir, only that—but
do you take sides with them? That is the
last thing I expected, that my own son would
take part against me.” Possibly the old
gentleman was a little ashamed of having
spoken quite os harshly to the workmen' as
ho had. It would be refloated all atiout
town. And it was certainly incautious, but
his very uneasiness made him the more pro¬
voked at Philip's suggestion. “I presume
you picked up a few socialistic ideas at
school. No doubt you would like to put on
tho fire escapes out of the money your
mother left you.” He rang the bell violently.
“Yes I would,” exclaimed Philip, his eyes
lighting up. “I will be very glad to pay for
it alL It seems unjust, somehow, to crowd
tho men and girls into the mills as thick as
they can work, and not provide so but that
they all may tie burned to"-
“Mary, bring those three men lack," in¬
terrupted Mr. Breton.
“Ttnt tW sm on the street bv UjG "
“It milk s, no difference,” and the choleric
old gentleman brought his fist down with a
crash oa the table. “Go after them if you
have to rbnuc them a mile. Bring them hack,
I »ay.”
The little office clock ticked its loudest to
break the ailenco until the door opencxl to let
In the returning committee. What coulil it
mean? Mr. Breton stood with his back
turned to them, drumming on the window
pane, while Philip, pale and uncomfortable,
looked nervously at his father ’ ’hen at
the three awkward fi , - ■; -way,
with the breathless scrvui. nnd them
waiting for startling developments.
“You can report to your r.-ding,” said
Mr. Breton in a constrained vo; , without
facing the workmen, “that aywn will put
on the tire escapes at his own exp Tlmt
is all. ”
The nun were astonished. So to young
mill owner’s son had begun to redeem his
promise of the night of the fire. There were
rough words of gratitude on their bps, their
hearts were iu a glow, after the first chill of
disappointment, but there was an influence
in tho little office that hashed their eager
spec'-li, and they only ducked their heads iu
awkward acknowledgment and followed the
maid out.
“Did you suppose,” said Mr. Breton in a
calmer tone as he left the window and took
his chair by the long table, “that 1 was go¬
ing to let you jiay for those fire escapes? Not
a penny, my dear boy, but you can have the
credit of it, discredit I should call it.” lie
opened the drawer and drew out a sheet of
business pajwr.
“The Breton Mills,” was printed at tho top.
Ho dipped his pen in the ink anil wrote in tho
date.
Then ho wrote tho address, us follows:
“John T. Giddings, Esq., Attorney at Law,
42 Loring street, Lockout.”
“Please sit down, Phil. I am not much in
tho habit of talking of my business to any¬
body, but I presume it is your right t > know
this.” Mr. Breton laid down his jwn and
ciasjK-d his hands behind his back. “I want
to make this mill four times its present size;
I haven’t tho money, but other men have. I
am going to take thoso other men in with
me, and then turn tho whole thing into a cor-
puration. Gidilings is managing it for m<\”
Philip’s face fell. A corporation! Then
all his thoughts of some day letting a little
light into tho lives of tho villagers, so far
always in the shadow, his dreams which had
lent a new dignity to his life, were all for
nothing. A soulless corporation, with no-
boity to blame for an act of injustice! How
it would rivet the shackles of the poor past
any power of his hands to loose them.
“What is the trouble, my boy I” smiled his
father, in his superior wisdom. “One would
think you wanted the tough job I have had,
over again. It is too much, too much for a
man; why, I thought I was doing you a kind¬
ness. A man thinks, at first, he is strong,
that he won’t care for the murmurs and tho
threatenings of hia help, hut ho gets tired.
The amount of power, aim-,.-;, like God’s, Phi¬
lip,” said Mr. Breton excitedly, “alm-ist like
God's, which a big fortune gives a man, i.
too much, too much.” Ho name around tho
table, and put his hand on his son's shoulder.
“Tlie people are poor and unhappy; we ean't
shut our eyes to it. Don't we ail wonder,”
ho went on in this new, strango mood Philip
was fairly’ startled at, “don’t wo all wonder
what life is worth to them that they are so
hungry’ for the bread that keeps the breath in
them? And they all blame tho men who own
tho mills; they think it is our hardness and
injustice. A man may know ho is all right,
that rich men have always done as ho is
doing, that tho few always have tho bint ol
everything, and scent ! o deprive tho masses
of their rights. But it wears on a man; he
wants to get behind somebody or something
occasionally.”
The little office clock ticked oa restlessly’,
for another week, and Philip had come to
feel that to lie In love may be tho most ter¬
rible misfortune of a mail’s life. Iiis pride
had not let him call again on Bertha for days
of distress, days of hot, dry wretchedness,
whoso dawn was a new, pitiless reminder of
his quenchless passion that met only insult.
It was insult, as he felt it, for a lover has
sensibilities painfully acute, and can detect
the slightest change in a woman’s relations
with him, by signs too subtle for unstiinu-
lated observation. A hair's breadth varia¬
tion in tone makes mysterious revolutions,
sweet or bitter to him; a shade of expressiiin
in tho lieautiful bluo eyes, has a meaning
clearer than words, to thrill him with hope,
or plunge him into despair. And in those
days, too, he found time to remember hew
unioverlike Bertha Jmd always been to him
and the m;:||/ times she had met his ardor
with coldness, with all the instances of hard¬
ness and neglect she had meted out to his de¬
votion, rose up in his mind like hideous sins
that will not be forgot. How he had fooled
himself, and yet ho had been so happy in ids
delusion.
There carno a light tap at the door. lie
closed the drawers and turned about in hut
chair in time to see Mary, the maid, enter
with a letter for him. lie glanced at tho
writing, and then was so augry at the sweet
glow about his heart that he tossed tho letter
carelessly on the table.
The maid had lingered with a woman’s un¬
wearying tosto for sentiment; but now she
slammed the doer on him and went bridling
down the hall in ’ : yh dudgeon.
“He’s a pretty beau, he is,” she muttered;
“if I was that girl of his I’d teach him to
treat my love letters that way. - ’
But the maid did not see, for the door was
shut, what might have bettor suited her Ideas
of propriety. Her young master had torn
open the envelopo and real tho thnx; lines of
the letter before Mary had finished her dis-
gusted soliloquy. Then he reread it a dozen
times and behaved generally in as fool i h a
fashion as the most exacting sweetheart con’d
have desired. But there were only three
lines,
“I have not deserved it, I do not do - rvo
it; but will you call before 7 to-night?
“Behtha.”
But where was his sullen determination
uever to see her again? Had he forgotten so
soon that she had never loved him? But h”
remembered that moment that to-morrow
was tho day the had promised to let him talk
of marriage to her. There was a now flush
on his face, . hieh any woman might have
thought har. '. ,ome now, anil n new bright
light in his eyc- j. Why, it was nc ;
. . , . i
now-. And Le rose to go out. j
“Bah!” It was his father who opened the !
door and car. s in, tearing a scrap of paper i
between his fat fingers. '
But Philip thrust his letter into his iusid
poeket, and then made sure it was safe, w, i? i
it were a precious tick:' of admission.
“My dear Phil, ii there ever wasamau fool
enough to try and give tho poor what th y
want, they would lead him the wildest kiwi
of a wild goose chase, I can tell you. You'll
see yet I was right about those lire e ";;;x c
Since they have got those tho help are clamor¬
ing for something new every day. They de¬
vote all their spare time trying to think of
some Right they are kept out of. I suppose
the uiunics imagine the milG ought to Ixj ran
in their interest,” and Mr. Breton smiled at
the absurdity of the idea conjured up. Then
he tossed the torn bits of paper into the waste i
basket. “There goes one of their warnings; j
I have burned a dozen within a week. ’If I
don’t do this or that, my wills will stop,’they
read. I wouldn't wonder if a strike ivas
brt-wir.- I onlv bone tbev will givejne one
more day. ltwy might scare somti bf the
capitalists if they should make a disturbance
